Santoni times two...new addition

Share:

While in NYC yesterday I stopped by the IWC Flagship and picked up a Santoni strap for my PPC. I had already added one for my Portugieser. I was so enthralled with the first improvement that it took no thought to add it for my other prized Portuguese. The PPC Santoni is a bit lighter and with a bit more yellow in the leather. I think it's a tremendous addition(s). What do you think.

Great addition Bill, I added a light brown on my steel 5001 back in 2011, reasoning for the light brown is straps darken with wear but so far no darkening so next strap a dark brown. Oh to be able to walk into an AD and select the strap by colour hue and scale size! Not an option in the UK.

Focus on straps, not the dials.

Individually,

Greetings Bill,

Santoni's look terrific! Nice to be able to get the "pick of the litter" if the Boutique has a stock selection. I added a Dark Santoni to my Laureus VC-Inge. Those who have had the opportunity to handle these gorgeous straps know that each is unique in scale and shading. My AD ordered a couple so that I would have a choice as well as including what was in stock on the Potofino's as options. Turns out, the one on a 8day was the best and he was happy to swap it to satisfy my desires.

Wondering how the "dark" Santoni might look like with the moonphase and it's effect in giving it some additional POP. The lighter Santoni would also be a great pairing with the 5001. Should you have a chance to reverse them and utilize your excellent photography skills, that would be a treat to see.

Enjoy the new Santoni's. They really do make those beautiful watches even more stunning if that was even possible.
